Longfellow Square
Longfellow Square is a public square in Portland, Maine, United States. Named for the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, it is one of the three main squares on the city's Congress Street — the others being Congress Square and Monument Square, both located a short distance to the northeast. A monument to Wadsworth, erected in 1888, stands in the center of the square, with the seated subject looking east.[1]
